Hello Holloway - An Opening Cabaret

John Hegley Performance poet, musician and comedian who is always Glad to Wear Glasses. An Edinburgh Festival regular, he is noted for his exploration of such diverse topics as dog hair, potatoes, handkerchiefs and the misery of human existence.

El Crisis Spoken-word sensation, specialising in chants and incantations (some to his maker, some to his car) with the occasional sea-shanty thrown in. Has recorded alongside Roots Manuva and Estelle, and has performed everywhere from New York to Norway to the Gambia. With his powerful set of vocal pipes, this man needs no microphone!

Project Adorno Seasoned electro-pop cabaret duo whose live performances read like a quirky thesis on popular culture from the last 30 years. Featuring original songs and poems on 8-bit computer games, library date-stamps and the rise of the Sat Nav generation. "Like the F.T. letters page being sung by Soft Cell" -Culture-Deluxe Magazine
